Axiom - Displaying engineering units for manual data entry

Would like to be able to display the engineering units in a tag's properties in a manual data entry field. Knowing which engineering units are used for a tag is crucial to having the correct data entered.

    It might be a little hacky, but could you add a Value Box control on top of the Data Entry box and display the engineering units property?

       yeah that would work. Then again, it's a hack. It would be nice if the eng units would be grey and natively part of the data entry field. In the bigger picture, it's still just a data entry field. But if it's integrated, it makes the product better.

       I agree. I also don't know that there's anything special about the engineering units property. I could be wrong, but I think it's just like any other property. So maybe the enhancement request is a control property where you can enter the name of a property (EngUnits, UOM, Engineering Units, etc.) and the control would handle that like units.
